This post made me laugh, but then I realized that, in certain other cases, the convicted party was not only correct about the sentence being unfair and the means being improperly executed; they were also the only party who chose to point out the issue. Not to draw hilariously inapposite parallels, but retrials that hinge on bias often make the same argument, do they not?
Apple is in the wrong in many other ways, but that particular argument is one that isn't necessarily without merit. It might not be credible for Apple to complain about unfairness in this case, but perhaps it can be so for other parties in trials that involve corruption and/or prejudice at the judicial level.
